Secure Document Shredding
Effective September 1, 2017, Records Retention will no longer be able to accept departmental documents for the purpose of secure shredding. Campus departments can arrange for secure shredding from Austin Task, for any amount, without a contract or going through a procurement process. The state has a contract with the Texas Industries for the Handicapped and Blind (CCG 050815-A-CCG-DD) until August 31, 2010, and Austin Task is the specified vendor for our region. The contract and vendors can be viewed at https://comptroller.texas.gov/purchasing/programs/ccg/document-destruction.php. All orders from Austin Task must be processed via requisition and Purchase Order to allow accurate reporting for the State Use Program. Please see the notification from the University Controller’s Office dated 8/5/2016.
